Domenico Tedesco had to face a staggering number of absentees against Israel. Timothy Castagne made his comment on the subject.
In the absence of Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, Timothy Castagne was the captain of the Red Devils against Israel. During the pre-match press conference, he was invited to speak about the numerous packages.
“The absent players have their reasons” he was content to reply. If he did not, through this declaration, take care not to anger anyone, Castagne irritated Philippe Albert.
“This is another one of those ambiguous statements that raises doubts. It is rather up to the coach to make this declaration, because he is the only one who can veto a departure between two matches” he declared in La Capitale.
Unsaid things pile up
“There is a medical staff and a technical staff: it is up to them to give the reasons for the absence. If you have small injuries, you deal with them day by day and even if you are at 90% on match day, you still play. But in this case, it only maintains the vagueness” concludes Albert.
This type of reflection testifies to the gloomy climate around Red Devils. Must the group have been walking on eggshells so much over the last fifteen years?
